Progressing SLOWLY

Our little girl has started on her way.  Don't get excited I labor long, just like my Mom did with my sister and I.  It took her over a week of contractions with both of us girls It took me almost 4 weeks to finally have William!  Claira not as long only about 2 weeks on and off when I finally ended at 5cm and over a week late they intervened and got the show on the road. I have been at 1cm now for over a week, but making some progress thinning out and she seems to have dropped. So maybe we will have this little girl before her due date, Aug. 25. But I am not getting my hopes up. Lets keep our fingers crossed that we meet this little girl sooner then later. My poor little body is getting so swollen. William thinks I am filling full of water and am going to 'POP' so his sister can come out!
